CINCINNATI, OH — TKF’s popular PosiGrip accumulation conveyor can be configured to convey product around virtually any degree of curve, while maintaining non-contact, zero pressure accumulation. The system is ideal for the computer and electric component, food and beverage, appliance, automotive, and glass industries when non-contact between products is crucial.
Accumulation zones are driven by motorized rollers, each with a drive card that allows easy adjustment of speed. The drive roller stops as product reaches the photo-eye at the discharge point of the zone, virtually ensuring no contact. Zones can be individually controlled for specific assembly areas and are available in various widths. When used with TKF’s PosiGrip Accumulation Conveyor, the curve allows for uninterrupted accumulation with no external sensors or logic required.
PosiGrip roller drive gear teeth are formed directly into the rollers and powered by smooth, quiet synchronous belting in a positive drive. This provides superior drive force compared to line shaft and O-ring styles of conveyors.
The rollers are driven by belts so there is no metal-to-metal contact resulting in quiet operation. It requires no lubrication, and there are no separate sprockets, gears, or welded drive components making it cleaner and easier to maintain than comparable conveyors. PosiGrip is ideal for most any work condition, and runs smoothly in both clean and tough, rugged conditions.
